Ingredients
Scale
1 cup farro
8 cups of water
Sea salt
Instructions
- In a large pot, bring 8 cups of water to a boil. Add sea salt.
- While the water heats, rinse 1 cup of farro under cold water using a fine mesh sieve.
- Add the rinsed farro to the pot. Boil uncovered for 20–30 minutes, or until tender but still chewy.
- Drain farro in a colander, then spread it out on a sheet pan to let the steam escape. This helps the grains dry out and stay fluffy.
- Use immediately in salads, soups, or bowls—or let cool completely and store for later.
